Ok, so this problem has no examples or anything, and nothingtalksabout it in the previous chapters. Could anyone help me? Ihavetried doing it on my own and looking back on work but I can'tseemto figure it out.


This is the problem: Remote controlled model boats arepoweredby burning methanol or a racing mixture of 80% methanol and20%nitromethane by mass. Te standard enthalpies of formation ofliquidmethanol and nitromethane are, respectively, -283.6 kJ/moland-74.78 kJ/mol. a) Draw structural diagrams for all reactantsandproducts. b) Calculate the percentage change in energyoutputachieved by using a racing mixture. Our teacher gave us thisaswell: CH3NO2 + O2 --> CO2 + 3/2 H2O + NO So I'm guessingthatwould be the equation for nitromethane...but if I have to doaformation equation shouldn't it be only 1 equation? And so Ineedto make a second one for the combustion of methanol? If Icanunderstand that, I'm sure I can do the rest no problem, but thisiswhere I am stuck.
